This anodyne BS is how the NYT summarizes the most corrupt presidency in US history.
Trump said he didn't know what Project 2025 was; he lied.
He said he would get prices down; he lied.
He said he'd only deport criminals; he lied.
He started wars and attacked his own people.

In multiple cases where ICE/CBP has shot people, they have claimed they were under attack. But their cases fall apart in court. It increasingly seems they use force, knowing they can claim they were attacked afterwards, and face no accountability. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

I noticed a change in the last few weeks in how the NYT describes gender affirming care. They now use the term "gender related care" in their coverage. This term had only been used sparingly (4 times) prior to this year. Now it's becoming ubiquitous in standard coverage.
